Hildon Foundation Board of Directors election announced - nomination period beings June 1st

Due to lack of nominees, the election process for the Hildon Foundation Board of Directors has been restarted. Nominations opened Saturday June 1st:
The nomination period for said BoD elections will start on the June 1st 0:00UTC and will end on June 14th 23:59UTC, the contemplation period runs from June 15th
The Hildon Foundation has gotten a bad image over the first few months of its existence. The resignation of all of the elected directors and its treasurer, its unresponsiveness to critical issues (like the banking/PayPal problems), the missteps in its secret communications with Jolla, and the distractions from its core responsibility of keeping maemo.org services running have all contributed to the negative perception many community members seem to have of it.

Your editor believes the Hildon Foundation is a very important piece in facilitating the continued smooth operation of maemo.org. It's important that the perception of the Hildon Foundation be turned around, and for that, we need quality candidates. Currently only Craig Woodward and your editor have nominated, but we really need at least 8 candidates for this election. On behalf of this publication, I'd like to strongly encourage (more like beg) any of those eligible who still have an interest in helping to keep maemo.org going, and a little free time, to consider nominating themselves. Interested nominees with karma of 100 or more can submit their nomination to the maemo-community mailing list. You have until June 14th at 23:59 UTC.
